I am preparing a patch for profile mode so I will submit modificationfor this mode with this big patch.


btw, François, for profile mode I think we should just do something
like this patch.

I feel quite strongly that if using Debug Mode or Profile Mode makes
your program run out of memory where it wouldn't usually fail, then
terminating is reasonable. The point of Profile Mode is not to test
abnormal execution of your program because that won't give you useful
profile information for the normal case.

It's more important for the noexcept specification to be consistent
across normal/debug/profile modes than for profile mode to fail
gracefully via bad_alloc in out-of-memory scenarios.
